1. Let the wilderness and the dry place be glad for them, and let the desert rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2. It blossoms much and rejoices, even with joy and singing. The esteem of Leḇanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Karmel and Sharon. They shall see the esteem of יהוה, the excellency of our Elohim.
3. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the weak knees.
4. Say to those with anxious heart, “Be strong, do not fear! See, your Elohim comes with vengeance, with the recompense of Elohim. He is coming to save you.”
